Ai No Corrida - Quincy Jones - Louis Johnson - Bass Cover

My first go at a bass line played by the funk master Louis Johnson.
He's playing bass here on the legend Quincy Jones' track Ai No Corrida.
The is from the Album 'The Dude' and you can see why Michael Jackson hired Quincy for the Off the Wall album.

You can get the transcription here if you would like to play the tune:

Damn, that was pretty nasty (smooth, crisp, and in the pocket)! Brothers Johnson!

[ricardopavez]

.this is how you realize the complexity of the composition...
Excelent !!!

[blmartin]

Brilliant! You captured that “sound” LJ played with swagger. That’s the only bass outside a Music Man I’ve heard actually get the vibe of this tune. Again, Brilliant Sir

Dude i've been playing bass a good many years (maybe 15) and i would describe myself as limited, I adore playing but feel i have levels i could only every aspire to (John Entwhistle, Bernard Edwards, Flea etc) this bass line is amazing, super smooth and i feel i might have it until the slap ... i have never mastered that.

Thank you for the upload man, and dont stop the music
